   3 * Overview
   4
   5 This directory contains examples illustrating various aspects of Guile
   6 programming.
   7
   8 If you plan writing Scheme programs, have a look at the `scripts'
   9 directory.  To learn more about Guile modules, check out the `modules'
  10 directory, and maybe the `box-module' and `box-dynamic-module'
  11 directories, if you are into C programming or shared libraries,
  12 respectively.  The `safe' directory contains examples for evaluation
  13 Scheme code in controlled environments (sandboxing).  The directories
  14 `box', `box-module', `box-dynamic' and `box-dynamic-module' are
  15 interesting if you plan writing Guile extensions.

  20 * Included Examples
  21
  22 scripts             Examples for writing simple scripts in Guile Scheme.
  23
  24 box                 Example for extending Guile with a new data type.
  25
  26 box-module          Similar to `box', but defines new procedures in a
  27                     named module.
  28 box-dynamic         Implements the box type in a dynamically loadable
  29                     library.
  30 box-dynamic-module  Combination of `box-module' and `box-dynamic':
  31                     Implements the `box' type in a shared library and
  32                     defines the procedures in a Guile module.
  33
  34 modules             Examples for writing and using Guile modules.
  35
  36 safe                Examples for creating and using safe environments.
  37
  38 compat              autoconf code for making a Guile extension
  39                     compatible with older versions of Guile.
